Hey all,

We do use kolla. Let me see if I can shed some light here.

We should be getting the gnocchi issue fixed. See this thread 
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2019-September/017721.html
The rabbitmq issue is confusing me. The version provided for x86_64 
seems to be the same one provided for ppc64le, but maybe I'm missing 
something. If there's a package we need to get published, I can investigate.

Unfortunately I'm not well versed on the gaps in Ubuntu.

Just to clarify, the builds happen here 
https://ci.centos.org/job/tripleo-upstream-containers-build-master-ppc64le/
We are using kolla with buildah. The Dockerfiles are generated by kolla 
and then consumed by buildah.

Logs can be found here as well - 
https://centos.logs.rdoproject.org/tripleo-upstream-containers-build-master-ppc64le/

The question I have is, what do you need to maintain support? I can join 
this week's IRC meeting if that would be helpful.

Also, last week mnasiadka reached out to me asking if we might be able 
to turn on kolla jobs in pkvmci (our third party CI - 
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ThirdPartySystems/IBMPowerKVMCI ). I 
plan to talk to our CI folks this week to see if we have capacity for this.

Thanks,
